Genetic interactions between PIWI subfamily genes and hobo transposons modulate Drosophila melanogaster lifespan under chronic low-intensity irradiation.

Abstract excerpt

In recent decades, there has been active research into how ionizing radiation at low doses, an inevitable factor in human activity, affects aging processes and which molecular genetic mechanisms underlie this influence. This study investigates the effects of mutations in PIWI subfamily genes (piwi and aub), which regulate transposable elements, on the lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster under conditions of genome...
